IPsec tunnel for "all trafic but"...

Hello.

 

Let's say I have a remote site with a fiber connection to the internet.
And a central site that is actually in a datacenter.

At the remote site, I have a XG105 and in the central site it's a XG virtual appliance.

Currently, we have IPsec a tunnel between the XG105 and XG virtual appliance, with a "any-to-any" rule.
The IPsec connexion on remote site is setup with "any" as "Remote Subnets".
This works great (all trafic goes into tunnel - including internet trafic, web filtering happens in datacenter, etc).

Now, we'd like a little change: we'd like some trafic (VoIP trafic) to go out on the internet immediately out of the XG105.
We don't want it to go in the tunnel anymore.

I tried to add an according firewall rule on the XG105 that does it.
Obviously this rule is before the LAN-to-VPN rule (it's the first rule in the rule set).
It doesn't work: the trafic is not "intercepted" by the firewall rule and still goes in the tunnel.

So I guess I have to change the "Remote Subnets" as defined in the IPsec Connection.

How can I do that?
I'd like to define a "any but a couple IP" (VoIP servers) subnet.

Any hint (or different way to address the problem) would be appreciated.

  • I'm looking for the same thing! It appears that in the VPN setup there is no way to exclude networks or devices from the VPN tunnel. What we need is something like this:

     

    Remote Subnet: Any

    Exclude Source: PC 10.10.10.10 or 10.10.10.0/24 - If you didn't want PC or the entire network to go over the tunnel

    Exclude Destination: 2.2.2.0/24 - So if it sees traffic destined to 2.2.2.0/24 it excludes it from the tunnel

     

    Make sense?

     

     

    Sad that it's not already there because I'd say it's a pretty basic feature.

     

    Be sure to submit a feature request so we can get some exposure on this!
